Seeing Gu Man's actions, Qing'er was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly and said, "How can I bear the mistress giving me medicine!"
As soon as Qing'er's legs fell to her knees, a heartbreaking pain came up, and her clothes were soaked in cold sweat.
Gu Man sighed and complained: "I told you not to kneel down, don't you remember?"
Gu Man frowned angrily, it seemed that she still couldn't stop Qing'er from kneeling down.
But thinking about it, maybe when I leave this side courtyard, I will have to kneel here and there. No, I knelt for a long time yesterday.
It seems that it is not feasible to put an end to kneeling, and we have to find another way.
As she said that, Gu Man seemed to have remembered something, pulled up Qing'er who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Okay, you can see your knees anyway, so just apply the medicine yourself! By the way, the needle and thread Ji Moyan brought
Where did the bag go?"
Qing'er was stunned for a while, then remembered that Ji Moyan was the young lady, and hurriedly took out things such as needlework and cloth from the cabinet.
Gu Man asked Qing'er to apply the medicine, while she tinkered in the house all afternoon. In the meantime, the young lady sent someone to bring lunch, but she only ate a few bites in a hurry and then returned to the dormitory. It was not until the evening, when the sun set, that Gu Man stretched out her arms.
He walked out lazily.
Gu Man stretched out her hand to call Qing'er over, and then took out two small square mats with narrow strips of cloth sewn at the four corners.
Qing'er looked at the two small cushions in her hands with a puzzled look on her face, thinking: It's impossible to sit still!
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Gu Man lift up his trouser legs, revealing a small cushion exactly like the one in his hand tied to his knees.
Just now, I didn't notice at all that the eldest lady actually had two cushions on her legs.
Qing'er couldn't help but asked curiously: "What is this?"
Gu Man smiled and said, "This is called the improved version of 'Kneeling is Easy'!"
Gu Man recalled watching "Huan Zhuge Ge" when she was a child. When she saw the kneeling function, she thought it was really practical. She didn't expect that she would also use it.
The cotton was too fluffy but unreliable. If you put too much, people would see it at a glance, but if you put too little, it would be the same as not having it at all. So Gu Man experimented for a whole afternoon and finally pressed the cotton under the bed to make it solid.
Then choose the appropriate amount, which can not only protect your knees, but also prevent others from seeing that you are carrying a secret weapon.
Gu Man asked Qing'er to try it on, and Qing'er immediately put it on and knelt down towards Gu Man.
The heartbreaking pain I imagined did not come. Although my knees still hurt a little, it was much better than before.
Looking at Qing'er's expression, Gu Man asked, "How do you feel?"
Qing'er smiled and nodded, "It really doesn't hurt anymore!"
Gu Man smiled proudly: "That's right! Then you can keep it with you from now on! This way, when you can't help but kneel down again, your knees won't hurt."
But Qing'er said hesitantly: "But this is very disrespectful. The Marquis will punish the slave!"
Gu Man patted Qing'er's shoulder lightly and told her: "Don't worry, I'll be there if something happens. Besides, we just have to be careful and we won't be discovered! If I meet the emperor in the future, I will definitely
I will ask the emperor to use my "easy to kneel" widely throughout the country. What is so disrespectful! Respect lies in the heart, and it is not called respect unless it makes people suffer!"
Qing'er didn't understand, but she felt that what Madam said made sense.
She seems to like the lady in front of her more and more!
Gu Man figured it was time for dinner.
Sure enough, just as I was thinking about it, there was the sound of chains colliding outside.
Dinner consisted of stuffed tofu, drunken pork ribs, stir-fried king oyster mushrooms and lotus root slices soup. The combination of meat and vegetables showed Ji Moyan's hard work.
Qing'er dared not dine at the same table as her, so Gu Man had to prepare an extra pair of chopsticks as serving chopsticks. After eating a few simple bites, he asked Qing'er to come over and eat.
Gu Man went out to the yard to stretch her muscles. There are a lot of mosquitoes in summer. Fortunately, some weeds in the yard have been pulled out during the day, and the yard is much cleaner. The cockroaches in the bedroom have also been sprayed, so she can have a good sleep today.
.
While Gu Man was thinking, a "woo woo" sound suddenly came from nowhere.
I looked for the direction where the sound came from, and found that it was coming from a place overgrown with weeds in the corner of the wall.
Gu Man walked over with light steps, stretched out her hands to dig through the messy weeds, and finally saw the thing that made the "wow" sound.
It turned out to be a dirty puppy, lying on the ground dying and moaning "Woo"!
The puppy looked like it was just over a month old. It was so small and so thin that you could see the ribs on its body.
There was a fist-sized hole behind it, Gu Man thought, it probably got in through this hole!
Gu Man was very curious, could this puppy be the one mentioned in the book?
Gu Man laughed and reached out to touch the dog's little paws, only to see that the puppy suddenly whined even louder!
Gu Man was startled and quickly called Qing'er out.
Seeing the puppy, Qing'er studied it for a while and said, "Madam, it should be injured, but fortunately there are no fractures. It will be fine in a few days!"
Gu Man breathed a sigh of relief, gently picked up the puppy, and asked Qing'er: "Is there anything left to eat?"
Qing'er nodded and took out the rest of the rice. She didn't dare to be greedy and stopped using her chopsticks after she was seven-tenths full.
Qing'er knew what the eldest lady meant, so she took the initiative to take a small piece of meat for the puppy to eat.
The puppy smelled it with his nose first, and seemed to know that it was delicious, so he struggled to get up to eat it.
Gu Man smiled and said: "It looks like it's really hungry! Qing'er, let's give it a bath later!"
Qing'er answered yes and went to boil water.
Gu Man decided to give him a name. The puppy after bathing was fluffy and covered with snow-white fur, so he named him "Mo Mo".
After hearing the name, Qing'er staggered in fright, "Mo... Madam, isn't this bad? Mo is the word for Mr. Hou."
Of course Gu Man knew, he did it on purpose, who asked him to lock him up here without listening to his explanation!
